A member asked:

Help! my doctor say excessive ejaculation/masturbation increases hormone levels & dht production in body which cause baldness in me.depressed ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not true: This does not happen. You may masturbate all you want and your hormone levels will not be altered and you will certainly not lose your hair. See a dermatologist about your hair and ask your doctor to show you the medical literature to support his assertion. Take care and best wishes.
